The Challenger barrel hoist is specifically designed for the purpose of lifting or lowering barrels and cylindrical objects between floors in a variety of establishments, such as public houses, licensed premises, and restaurants. It offers a simple operation and minimal maintenance requirements. The hoist operates on a 240v single-phase power supply and is controlled through constant pressure push buttons, providing full control throughout the operating cycle.

The hoist utilises a braked motor interconnected with a sprocket assembly and twin chains to ensure equal distribution of the load. Two cantilevered steel arms supported by the main frame provide support for the load. This design makes it particularly effective in handling challenging items like beer kegs, drums, and gas cylinders. An optional attachment can be provided to enable the hoist to handle crates as well.

The Challenger barrel hoists are design in compliance with the current European Machinery Regulations and they are supplied with a CE mark and an operation manual. By installing a barrel hoist, the risk of injury as a result of manual handling is eliminated, thereby creating a safer working environment.

Beer Barrel Hoist

This lift is designed for easy operation and minimal maintenance, running on a single-phase 240V power supply. Safety is ensured through a push button control function, allowing precise positioning of the product at any point in the operation cycle.
Similar to our standard barrel hoists, the drive system consists of a braked motor connected to twin drive chains via a common shaft and sprocket arrangement. The load is fully supported by two cantilevered steel arms attached to the main frame.
The beer barrel hoist is suited for handling cumbersome items like beer kegs, drums, and gas cylinders, whether it's moving them from a platform to a cellar or from a truck to ground level. This reduces the need for manual handling. Each unit can be customized to accommodate specific height requirements at our Yorkshire factory. Furthermore, it complies with the current European directive 90/269/EEC, which addresses health and safety regulations for manual load handling.
